NOT GOOD WITH LEMONS? SO NONE HERE.

Ulquiorra stared at Orihime as she slept, he watched her chest rose with her rhythmic breathing. Ulquiorra brushed the hair that covered her face away with his hand. He kissed her lightly trying hard to not wake her. He didn't succeed, and she kissed him back. He opened his eyes to stare into hers. They were filled to the brim with emotion. Anger? Fear? Hate? Love? Happiness?

Yes, all the emotions were there. Anger towards him for leaving her, Fear for herself, hate towards the Soul Society, Love for him?, and Happiness for what they had had.

Orihime stared into his eyes afraid to speak, afraid to shatter the happiness that now enthralled them. It was a dream almost, to be like this to be held by him, but like any other dream it always had to end. She watched as he rose and clothed. Her eyes holding back tears of sorrow. When he was gone she would let them flow, but not in front of him.

Ulquiorra watched the hurt in her eyes as he rose and hated himself as the hurt turned into sorrow. He didn't want to do this, but if protecting her meant he had to then he would, and if his very presence put her life in jeopardy then he would put aside his happiness.

Orihime let her tears fall as he closed the door behind him. She felt part of her soul tear itself from her with each step he took. She held herself as the pain came.

Ulquiorra didn't want to hear her cry. He didn't want to know how much this really hurt her. He didn't want to ever cause her pain, but that is hat he was. A curse. A curse that will always plague her. For the first time in his existence the tears that rolled down his cheeks were not green.

Sora watched with sorrow as Ulquiorra approached them...alone. Sora had hoped that Ulquiorra would have been selfish and brought Orihime with him. Time seemed to stop as Ulquiorra stood before him. No one talked, not even Grimmjow.

"Ulq-", Sora started.

"Stop." Ulquiorra stared at Sora, "Just open the Garganta."

'Ulquiorra'....Sora did as asked and opened a Garganta. Grimmjow left first, followed by Pinky and Nel, and Sora stepped through. He turned to Ulquiorra and cursed as he saw a green beam come at him. The only thing he could do was close the Garganta. After a brief shout of anger a smile crept onto Sora's face. 'He, bastard could have just told me he was staying. Sora turned and walked away followed by every one else.

Everyone was speechless what had just happened and even more-so when Ulquiorra spoke, "Listen and listen well shinigami, I am Ulquiorra Schiffer and I have no intention of leaving Orihime's sidea second time." He glared at all of them in turn before continuing, "know this, that I will crush any that dare harm Orihime or the happiness that I will give her."

A broken and hurt Ichigo spoke, "Fine with me,what say you Old Man?"

Ulquiorra turned to see Captain-Commander Yamamoto surrounded by the remaining captains. Ulquiorra tensed for a fight, but was confused when Yamamoto held up his hand,

"Ease yourself Arrancar, I have not come to fight."

Ulquiorra looked at the Captains, "All evidence to the contrary."

"I am here to say that even though you were an enemy you are no threat to us without Aizen. So I will allow you to stay with that girl, but know that if you mess up and consume a soul we will come crashing on you."

Yamamoto left without saying anything else, but Ulquiorra knew this wasn't over it never would be. Ulquiorra left without a word. He was on his way to Orihime. On his way home.

Orihime walked to the kitchen and stared at the knives in the drawer. She didn't want to die, but life without Ulquiorra was worse. So she picked up a butcher knife and brought it to her wrist. Taking a deep breath she made the first cut. She watched as the blood hit the floor. She closed her eyes and brought the knife to her skin once again.

However the knife never touched her again. She opened her eyes to see the angry face of Ulquiorra. She let out a little gasp when he slapped her,

"Woman, what are you doing?"

"I-I-I'm trying to-to die."

"Why?"

"So I can-can be with you."

"You...would die to be with me?"

"Yes."

Orihime let out another gasp as she hit his chest, nearly stopped breathing when she felt the corners of his mouth rise slightly. Ulquiorra quickly let her go and went for her first aide kit. After wrapping her wrist he kissed it lightly. And then kissed her.

Orihime let out a cry of happiness as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He picked her up and took her to her room. He smiled for the second time in his life as he shut the door behind him.

END...maybe.
